VENTOR DIVER Patented Aug. 4, 1931 UNITED STATES LEO SEIDNEB, or no'cKvILLE CENTER, NEW tronm assrenorti'ro THE GLEMBY 0611- L PANY, INCL, OF NEW. YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF DELAWARE HAIR NET Application filed March 14, 1931. Serial No. 522,542.

This invention relates to improvements in hair nets and has particular reference to a cap-shaped net.

The net of the present invention is generally of the type known in the art wherein the entire body thereof is formed by interweaving a plurality of strands to provide rows 7 of meshes and in which a central restricted opening is formed that can be expanded preliminary to placing the net upon the head. With a net of this kind in position on the head, a portion of the net extends over the hair just above the forehead where it is more visible than at any other point. This has been considered, by many women, an objectionable feature, particularly in view of the fact that the point of maximum visibility is the one where the net is least needed. Attempts have been made to overcome this objection by making a net of bonnet shape, that is, one in which the front portion of the cap-shaped net is entirely eliminated so that,

when the net is in place, the hair directly over the forehead will be uncovered. However, it has been found difficult to keep such a net in position because of its tendency to slip toward the back of the head.

An object of the present invention is to overcome the above noted difficulties by providing a net, the frontal portion of which will be lessvisible than any other part thereof when the net is in operative position, and which will be adequately maintained in such position.

The above and other objects will appear more clearly from the following detailed description, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, which illustrates preferred embodiments of the inventive idea.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a plan view of one form of the invention; and

Figure 2 is a similar view of another form thereof.

As shown in both forms of the invention, the net is of the usual cap shape and the major part of the body portion thereof is formed of a plurality of rows of meshes 8, while the center of the net is provided with an expansible opening 4 formed by one or more relatively smaller rows of meshes 5.

In accordance with the invention and as illustrated in Figure 1, a section of the front of the body portion, which section is designed to extend over the hair directly above the forehead, is constituted by a plurality of rows of meshes 6 considerably larger than the meshes 3. Therefore, the number of strands forming said meshes 6 will be much less than those of the meshes 3 in any given area of 7 said body portion equal to that of said section. Consequently, when the net is in position on the head the fact that the strands of the meshes 6 are more widely. separated than those of the meshes 3 will make the net less and the net was of a bonnet shape.

A binding strand 7 may be employed to assist in keeping the meshes 6 in place, this strand being attached to the cross strands of said meshes intermediate the ends thereof. Or, if so desired, this binding strand may be omitted, as shown in Figure 2, this being the only difference between the two modifications illustrated.

What is claimed is:

1. A hair net comprising a body portion having a central opening, the major part of said body portion consisting of a plurality of rows of meshes, and a section of said body portion adjacent said opening comprising a plurality of rows of meshes larger than the first-named meshes.

2. A hair net comprising a body portion having a central opening, the major part of said body portlon consisting of a plurality of rows of meshes, and the section of said body 3. A hair net formed by a plurality of interwoven strands constituting a meshed body portion in which the meshes of the frontal section thereof are larger than any of those of the remainder of said body portion.

4. A hair net comprising a body portion having a central opening, the major part of said body portion consisting of a plurality of rows of meshes, and a section of said body portion extending to the edge of said opening comprising a plurality of roWs of meshes larger than the first-named meshes, and a binding strand connecting the strands forming said larger meshes.

In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature.

LEO SEIDNER.
